«I’ll be the governor and mayor of St Petersburg, and not only because I love all she- and he-inhabitants and all four-legged cohabitants, but also all to-be inhabitants and the ones who have untimely passed away. I love it all more than anyone else and know it all better than anyone else.
Good luck to everyone (more than once) in my person». Vladimir Sorokin
